Endoptychum is a genus of secotioid fungi in the family Agaricaceae.[1] Like the majority of secotioid taxa, the individual species of Endoptychum are thought to be recent mutations from agaricoid species, hence, Endoptychum is likely not a valid monophyletic genus.[2]

So far, molecular phylogeny and morphological study has revealed that E. depressum is a species of Agaricus and E. agaricoides, the type species, is a species of Chlorophyllum. E. depressum has been renamed Agaricus inapertus Vellinga.[2] Recognition of the name Chlorophyllum agaricoides (Czern.) Vellinga would entail deprecation of the entire genus name Endoptychum in favor of Chlorophyllum and awaits a formal decision of the International Botanical Congress.[3][4][5][6]
